Abstract:		 The investigation comprised two archaeological trial-trenches. Natural sandy gravel was recorded across the site between 0.90m OD and 0.64m OD, suggesting that the site occupies a position on flat, higher land upon the Bermondsey eyot. An accumulation of deposits up to 2.80m thick was recorded above the natural sands and gravels, cut by features dating to the post-medieval period. Deposits lower down in the sequence bore a great resemblance to prehistoric and Roman layers that have been discovered in the immediate vicinity of the site, however they were sterile and no dating evidence was found. The features recorded in Trench 1 included two drainage ditches, a pit and two horticultural beds. These features contained fragments of building material and pottery dating to the post-medieval period. Trench 2 revealed no cut features at all. The evidence indicates that despite the well-attested rich archaeological resource that is known in Bermondsey, very little seems to have happened on the study site until the late post-medieval period, with the division and drainage of land for farming, without even residual finds of an earlier date being encountered during the course of the exercise.
